Time continues on

A train racing to its destination

As we hold on for dear life

Praying we find a stop somewhere along the way

But one never comes

Overwhelmed

Exhausted by continually treading water

Barely keeping my head above water

Yet another wave crashed over me

I drop beneath the surface

My body a sinking anvil

Darkness overcomes

Someone grabs me before I plunge too deep

Child I am not finished with you yet.

My limp body is gently laid on the shore

My Creator Who formed me in my mother’s womb

Breathes new life into these lungs of mine

Light floods my senses

A sense of purpose renewed

I rise

Take hold of my Father’s hand

Together we journey into

Tomorrow’s radiant promise.
